Razi Human Care Foundation India 1.1 About us Razi Human Care Foundation India RHCFI- is a massive educational venture that coordinates different activities in a single platform and lends all kinds of necessary support to those who are in dire need for help. When a face gets sad, when emotions fails to speak, when someone looks around intensely for a hand to help, a shoulder to put face on and when a really deserving human being gets tired in search of genuine support remember the name; Razi Foundation. It is not an organisation run by some rich magnates but a team that owns a heart with tremendous ideas to give a hand of help in the real need for the real one. The name "Razi" is taken from the name of renowned Scholar in the history of Islam Sheikh Abubaker Al Razi. He was a man of medical science, philosopher, writer and a renowned scholar in various Islamic Knowledge genres. We are inspired by his approach towards humanity. As one of sayings points out that knowledge is the real charity. Thus Razi Foundation owes a lot to Imam Razi. 1.2 Why RHCFI is genuine and unique? Razi is a dream come true for those who work behind the screen for a couple of years. We envision people from different back ground with single heart of love and passion. This is how Razi being unique that the team aims in uplifting all deserving people. This is how Razi being genuine that it believes in the power of love which can bring enemies together and quarrelling hearts bloom in same garden feeding different butterflies. 1.3 Vision & Mission RHCFI envisages a world in which Muslim youth strives for recreating that golden age of knowledge in the medieval world history. Qurthuba, Samarkand, Spain, Bagdad, Basra, Koofa, Damascus, Delhi and many other places were centers of Islamic knowledge and culture. In the course of the time lazy Muslims of that age destroyed that name and fame only because they were not able to keep pace with the time and produce knowledge. Razi tries to rebuild brains from the community itself to enable them to be the producers of knowledge as the world Muslims will not to move as the consumers any longer. 3
Razi's mission is simple and crystal. The team Razi strongly believes that now is the time to work for the vision mentioned above. Now or never is the motto that inspires the team. With a collective effort Razi plans to work on a mission to find better heads from the students and give to them knowledge which will enable them to lead a better life here and the best in hereafter. Specially designed syllabus, purposely trained faculty and the atmosphere itself will be playing countable role in achieving this aim. Razi dreams of an institution without an end to end traditional timetable for the learner. Thus a student can make use of the time unlimited on his own choice. In short our mission is not to be kept in our brochure and web page but to practice in real learning strategies. 4
